Camper & Nicholsons continues its international expansion with the announcement of a new office opening in Ocean Financial Center in Singapore.
The new office is the second location in the region for Camper & Nicholsons, and follows the opening of the Hong Kong office in 2017.
The Singapore office is controlled in full by Camper & Nicholsons and the company is delighted to appoint Julien Solari as chief commercial officer in Asia. Julien has over ten years' experience in the yachting sector with six years in a sales manager role and four years as Singapore country manager for another leading yachting brand.
"I'm truly delighted to join this iconic name of the industry as Asia CCO. Asia is a fantastic cruising ground where owners can enjoy yachts all year round. Over the past few years, many buyers came into the 80-110ft sector, and now start looking for larger yachts with more range to further explore amazing sceneries and carry more water toys, diving equipment, etc. With our amazing new build, yacht management and charter management divisions, we are the ideal partner to accompany owners in their superyacht journey.
Singapore is ideally placed between Middle East, Hong Kong and Australia, and it's natural for C&N to set up an office here." - Julien Solari, CCO Asia, C&N.
"We look forward to improving and consolidating our growth in Asia, and I am confident that Julien's extensive experience and knowledge of the yachting sector in Asia will enable us to further develop the C&N presence in Southeast Asia and beyond." - Paolo Casani, Group CEO, Camper & Nicholsons.
Asian importance in the yachting industry has grown steadily over the last decade, with Singapore being the key financial hub at the heart of Southeast Asia. News of Camper & Nicholsons new Singapore office comes alongside The Singapore Yachting Festival, which takes place from 27 to 30 April at ONE degrees15 Marina Sentosa Cove, and the Southeast Asia Yachting Conference. Julien's colleagues covering Asia include Carmen Lau (senior advisor), Gordon Hui (senior sales broker), Sebastien Bernard (sales broker), Karen Ball (sales broker) and Shek Fung (fleet manager).
